dex 0 #26 December 31, 2002 154.. did my first jump in april this year.. not a bad first year... some highlights involve 69 airplane rides without ever landing in any aircraft... (had to land with plane when the fabric pop top on the reserve came off... sure it would have been fine but better safe then sorry...) Off field landing for my first night jump... careful what campfire looking thing you fly your canopy too.... ended up landing in a field was glad it was not a pond... was at 2k or so trying desperately to remember if there was a body of water that was square where on that side of the dz.. heheh luckily just a field lots and lots of other good jumps :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichM 0 #33 December 31, 2002 220 ish, about 30 as SL instructor, some RW video work, but most paid for by a fat redundancy cheque. Which is now spent, and I'm skint again :)Rich M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustard 0 #34 December 31, 2002 196, the lowest number I've ever done in a year where I didn't have an injury to hold those numbers down. the biggest cause was being winded out weekend after weekend. As an AFF Instructor, I would be grounded when the students were grounded. I also am a wimp when it comes to winds, don't go when they are over 25mph. 52 student jumps among those 196 -- the rest video, RW, or evaluation jumps (as an AFF evaluator and a Coach Course evaluator). Doesn't help to rack up the numbers. But that becomes a little less important than quality once you pass a few thousand jumps, I'm finding. *** DJan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumperconway 0 #38 December 31, 2002 Quote Quote 571 jumps in '02,all paid for by me.(Almost only weekends) That's gotta take the cake for fun jumpers (not working) ! Dude, at full price that's $10,278. It's a little easier at $15 a pop, buying 200 at a time. Still not cheap, but worth every penny for the exp.!
